Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I havea 88 Vitara which i keep on Magnetic island and use only once or twice a year.
I usually use POR 15 fuel preserver, but even with that last year the carvby dried out and filled the jets etc with gunk. I pulled the carby down and cleaned everything but from then on its had a flat spot. My excuse s that I had BAD flu at the time.
I have had the carby cleaned by the local workshop. that didn't fix it. They recommended that I have it rebuilt, which was done in Townsville. It still had the flatspot.
I replaced all plugs, wires, rotor, dizzy cap. Still flatspot.

I wonder now if I mixed up the main jets and/or emulsion tubes, and the reconditioner just put it back togther as he found it.

Has anyone on the forum got a Mikuni Solex, and can tell me which main jet goes in which side and which emulsion tube goes where.
The main jets if I recall are 50 and 55 and the jets are interchangeable.
I assume the bigger one goes in the secondary but this is not always the case.
Any help much appreciated.

Dont know on carbs but on RC cars there is a after run oil to keep it ok when not used for a while.

Maybe there is a type of product like that for carbs as well.

Cant help u on the jets.

thanks

Before this dry out I used to
add the fuel conditioner
change the oil and filter
take out the plugs and put about a teaspoon of oil in each cylinder
put oily rags in the exhausdt and intake
put the battery on a trickle and regulated charger.
She started well with six month intervals but with a year and the hot dry climate maybe 40 plus in the locked up garage, the fuel dried to gunk.

Any one got a second hand Mikuni they want to sell????
I have a Weber DGAV which I bought but I figure I would spend too much of my 2 week holiday in setting it up. AND the bloody accelerator linkage is on the wrong side. I should have bought a Holley 180 which is the same but the accelerator linkage is on the correct side.

i have my old mikuni that i took off for a weber. i guess it just wasnt cutting it for me. as for the jets and e tubes, i've gotno idea. and i dont know what condition my carby is in, but it worked ok when it was on my motor. so if you're interested, PM me. its just sitting on the shelf in my garage.

Wait.. a stock vitara carby i s a Mikuni?

They are renowned for performance bike carburators . would be intersting to know if they shared any characteristics with a vitara stocko
